At this event we had four volunteers contribute just over 11hrs of work.

We also had a visitor, Barb from the Habitat Acquisition Trust, come by to receive a gift of a seedling. She was generous enough to donate her time at our AGM and give a fascinating presentation on land covenants for GOMPS members in attendance.

In total we:

• weeded, mulched and fertilized 100 1-gallon pots
• weeded and fertilized 55 1-gallon pots
• weeded, root pruned and fertilized 23 1-gallon pots

At this event we had 8 volunteers and contributed 22 hours of work between us.

The three sisters visiting from Taiwan, Cathy, Rebecca and Ruby, attended their third and final work party with us! It seems that they would keep coming back if their visit to our city wasn't rapidly coming to an end. They were absolute naturals with the work, even though they'd never had their hands in the soil before! We will miss having them at the nursery and wish them safe travels into the future.

What we accomplished:

• weeded and mulched 37 isolated seedlings
• weeded, mulched and fertilized 80 5- and 10-gallon pots
• weeded, mulched and fertilized 256 1-galon seedlings
  

As a reminder, there is now a proper toilet (porta-potty type) on the premises.  Training, gloves, tools & refreshments are provided. Weather appropriate clothing & good work boots are recommended - don't forget sun protection!
